This soundtrack is from the 2nd new Gamera movie released by Daei. These
films are much better than the old flying turtle movies of the 70's and
give the new Godzilla movies a run for their money, especially in the
Special Effects department. The first movie: "Gamera: Guardian Of The
Universe" is available here in the U.S., this movie is not. I have seen
a Japanese cut with english subtitles and it's a very well done movie with
great characters and plenty of action.

The music on this CD contains the score to the movie and is very action
oriented. Some tracks also contain sound effects. The music stands on its
own well but it's one of those scores that you appreciate even more when hearing
it within the movie. Overall not bad and worth a listen. Definately different
than your Godzilla soundtracks.

*1 This is a direct transliteration of the Japanese.
'Sotai' literally means 'cursive or script-like style of writing'.
*2 The literal transliteration is 'It Comes Flying Towards Us',
but I prefer my interpretation. Please feel free to use whichever you prefer.
*3 Or possibly, 'Confirmation of Giant Legion'
*4 (This info courtesy of Eduardo Fojo, March 3, 2001)
There's a musical group in Japan called Ulfuls (according to a an informative
book called "Nippon Pop", the name comes from the ending of the word 'soulful').
The "Gamera 2" cd's booklet includes a picture of the group standing with
what I presume is the Gamera costume, and the katakana rendering of the
group's name would be Urufuruzu.
